East Sussex · TR19 inspections and grease testing
Langney TR19 inspection
Our technicians work in Langney on TR19 inspection. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Langney
A grease test measures how thick the grease is inside a kitchen extract system. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. The results show whether the system needs cleaning and how soon. The work covers deposit thickness tests, insurer audits and access surveys, and the jobs we see most are cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen and an insurer’s request for a TR19 audit.
In a smaller place like Langney, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

- A faulty or failing extract fan
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Langney
Will you come out to Langney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Langney included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Langney?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. In practice, an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of TR19 cleaning, so following it is the sensible course.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does TR19 inspection cost in Langney?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, for our cleans and other firms’ alike.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Part by part
Vertical risers
In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so access is planned in advance.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Education kitchens need TR19 inspections like any other. Readings show if the interval is right.
Kitchen extracts in Langney
Sea air reaches Langney, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered across Langney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Langney sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near St. Richard, or anywhere in Langney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Langney Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the TR19 inspection, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Everything the job in Langney needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We go through any past certificates and reports.
- The layout is traced from the canopy to the discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- We measure the grease and photograph each point.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
Where sections couldn’t be reached, the report says where access panels would help. With panels fitted, the next clean can cover every section.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so grease is not left building in hidden parts.
